Five rings.

The Olympics - that's a Greek idea, yes? No? Well, it's French then - Baron de Coubertin and all that? No? Where then? Did you say Much Wenlock? What the....! But the fact of the matter is that back in the mid-1850s the local doctor in that small Shropshire market town, Dr. William Penny Brookes organised a sports club with the idea of giving the local males something to do other than go down the pub and called it the Wenlock Olympian Society. Annual competitions called the Wenlock Olympics were organised with many events we would recognise today and with laurel crowns and medallions for the victors. In 1890 de Coubertin came to have a look, and the rest, as they say, is history. So remember Much Wenlock in 2012.
